There’s a broader point here which is the danger of the trend to the Netflixification of politics - left and right - that is “I only want a party that is entirely homogenous and matches my preference on every issue” if you want broad based parties you need to accept heterogeneity

Industry is currently 26% of Polish GDP, falling fast, and at the lowest level since we have comparable records at the fall of communism. Basically the same as "struggling" Germany. Industrial electricity cost has increased by more than the UK and is more expensive than Germany.
